💡 Cooking Tips

• To save time, grill extra chicken and cook a larger batch of quinoa to use in multiple meals throughout the week.
• Let the grilled chicken rest before slicing to retain its juices and ensure tender texture.
• Adjust the dressing by adding a pinch of honey or Dijon mustard for extra flavor without adding many calories.
